Propecia Or Natural Hair Loss Solutions?

If you are new to finding solutions for your hair loss, all the information available may seem a little confusing with so many companies claiming they have the best product to treat hair loss. Perhaps I can put this in a perspective that’s a little easier to understand.

Hair loss solutions fall into two camps, prescription (propecia) or natural hair loss products. I’m sure you are aware that there is currently no cure for baldness, but are you aware that you can effectively treat hair loss. If caught soon enough, prescription or natural hair loss solutions are available that can help you keep a full head of hair most of your life.

The prescription drug Propecia has the approval of the FDA and the medical establishment behind it. Propecia does work. Like any hair loss solution, it doesn’t work for everybody. Age certainly plays a part in just how effective propecia will be. How soon you start your treatments after noticing that you are losing hair is also a big factor. Propecia is certainly a good choice for some people, but not necessarily the best choice for others. The possible side effects may make this a bad choice for some people.

You may not be aware that the FDA doesn’t test the effectiveness of natural remedies so even though there is a lot of testing by scientist in the private sector, the results are rarely recognized by the FDA or Doctors that are in that camp as being viable or trust worthy results. The FDA exist for a good reason and that is to protect you and I from products that could be harmful or that don’t work.

Natural hair loss solutions do not come under the category of drugs. However, because of the umbrella effect of that establishment, they often turn their noises up at the mounting scientific evidence that natural remedies do in fact work. Some of the most powerful DHT inhibitors are found in your natural hair loss remedies.

Research for natural hair loss solutions has accelerated dramatically in recent years. Scientist are discovering more and more effective natural compounds that inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (the enzyme that produces DHT), that block the androgen receptors and stimulate hair growth. Some of these active ingredients may include Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA), Alpha Linolenic acid (ALA), Linoleic acid, Oleic acid, Azaleic acid, Vitamin B6, Zinc, Saw Palmetto Extract, Beta-Sitosterol and Procyanidin Oligomers. All of these ingredients are clinically proven to be effective in the fight against DHT production. In fact, these are the most powerful inhibitors of 5-alpha reductase known today, and not only that, they inhibit the Type II form of the 5-alpha reductase.

The good news is the ingredients that are now being included in natural hair loss solutions will not cause side effects. However, some people are allergic to certain herbs so it is possible from an allergy stand point to have some reaction to natural hair loss products. No side effects are a key advantage of the best natural hair loss products.

Another advantage of some natural hair loss solutions is they also have hair growth stimulants in them. It is very important to inhibit DHT production and at the same time stimulate hair growth. The really effective natural baldness cures will include this balanced approach to their product.

Yes, natural hair loss solutions are effective. It’s important for you to realize that not every product works the same way for everybody. You may have success with one product and not have success with another. It’s also important to remember that there is no cure for baldness. You can only treat the condition and you need to start early to have maximum impact on reducing any future hair loss. Another thing to keep in mind; the longer you allow male or female pattern baldness to progress, the more expensive it is to get it under control and see results.
